Klára Deketová

Klára Deketová recently earned an MSc in International Business and Politics from Copenhagen Business School and is currently working as a Policy Advisor for a pharmaceutical company in Copenhagen.

After noticing a lack of community-building activities for Slovaks in Denmark, she brought together a group of young Slovaks and co-founded the Slovak Danish Network, where she now serves as Chair of the Board. She successfully established a platform to connect Slovaks living in Denmark, foster a sense of community, support Slovak initiatives, and strengthen ties with Slovakia from abroad.

Over the past year, the organization has developed active collaborations with the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Copenhagen, youth organizations in Denmark, and Slovak entities such as Nexteria and LEAF. It also organized two major networking events in Copenhagen, which attracted a total of 180 attendees.

Despite living abroad, Klára strives to stay actively connected with Slovakia. Alongside her university studies, she completed four internships, during which she had the opportunity to represent Slovakia at national, European, and international levels.
